Saison Rum Original | 700ML

With a special focus on four key steps in producing rum – origin, aging, blending, and finishing, this impressive offering from Saison ought to hit the spot for all manner of sipping and mixing. The origin begins with a selection of molasses-based pot-distilled rum and sugarcane-based column distilled-rum from Barbados, Trinidad, and Jamaica. After up to five years aging in their native climates, the rums travel to France, ready to be blended by Cognac master Jerome Tessendier. Applying the same skills and know-how gathered from Cognac production, Tessendier delicately blends the rum, before allowing it to rest for nine months in French oak barrels, and bottling it up without any added sugar.

Saison Rum Original | 700ML Tasting Notes

Distillery Information

Distillerie Tessendier & Fils was founded in 1950 and today is run by brothers Jérôme and Lilian Tessendier, master blender and cellar master. Together they oversee a brand that creates its own lines of Cognac and more, as well as sourcing and ageing rum. To make the Cognac, Distillerie Tessendier & Fils grows its own grapes, experiments with fermentation techniques, ages its spirits in locally sourced barrels, and bottles on-site. The brand uses six pot stills and owns 14 cellars located locally, with a stock capacity of 12 million litres, including 20,000 French oak barrels. Below is a great range of Cognacs, which includes the traditional VS to more innovative creations like mizunara-finished expressions. There’s also Saison Rum which boasts traditional rums (pale, original, reserve, and XO) to cask finished options and blends including triple cask Jamaica, Barbados, and Trinidad.
